AMOS Delegate Assembly
Sunday, June 27, from 3:00-4::30 p.m.
Outdoor social after the meeting
Our Lady's Immaculate Heart Catholic Church
510 E 1st St in Ankeny, or on Zoom
The Delegate Assembly will be a powerful opportunity to
celebrate AMOS’s recent wins and to prepare for a summer of
strengthening core teams and deepening institutional relationships.
Let’s make it a successful and inspiring action!
In-person worship is back!
Here's what you can expect.
As we prepare for our return to in-person worship on June 13, we are in need of volunteers to check-in those attending worship. These volunteers will be in the church entryway asking folks to sign in, leave a phone number or other reliable contact information, and make sure they are wearing their facemasks. Since we are only worshipping at 10:15 a.m., folks are needed from 9:45 a.m. until 10:15 a.m. Once worship starts, the ushers will take over the check-in duties, and the entryway volunteers may join worship. To sign up, please contact Coreen Witke at coreenwitke@gracedesmoines.org or 515.255.6400 ext. 230.

Worship With Grace Online
Although we have resumed in-person worship, the following options for attending
virtually remain available to you.
Since we have not been able to host the Tuesday free meal at Grace due to Covid-19, Grace has partnered with Lucky Horse to give free meals to the community. Lucky Horse is a new restaurant in the Drake neighborhood and we are excited to have this new opportunity to provide meals to those that need them.
If you need a meal, please let us know and we will get you a card that can be redeemed for a free meal at Lucky Horse.
You can also thank Lucky Horse for their support in our community by ordering a meal to-go or eating in if you are comfortable doing so.
